Plot

As described in a film magazine,[4] Chum Lewin (Dupont) is interested in advancing the career of her husband, Captain Alaric Lewin (Steele), in the British military service. Alaric is secretary to Commissioner Gregory (Stevens), and, in order to secure her husband a better post, Chum professes unusual interest in Gregory and his plans and allows him to hold her hand. Gregory becomes inflamed with passion and sends Captain Lewin to a far off point in the interior of Africa, from which he determines that his secretary will never return. Chum learns of Gregory's treachery and forces him to furnish her with an escort to take her to her husband's posting. She finds him ill with fever. Gregory follows her and, when natives attack, he meets an untimely death.
